1t was an industrious day in both houses
Notwithstanding which they did not take
! the usual Saturday vocation. In fact the
| Legislature starts in more vigorously than
any have seen i'll twenty years. l shall
watch with some interest to see if this vigor
| holds out for sixty days There
were n bills introduced in the
the Senate and - in the House. One of the
| import mt ones was offered by Senator
! Clough of Minneapolis appropriating $780,
| 600 for the State Cniversity-S5OOO0 per
! year for three years It is for purchase Of
lands. erection of buildings etc. Another
bill makes the second State Prison at St.
! Cloud a reformatory instead of a dark CELL
| prison There is a strong sentiment in fav-
! OF OF such an inst. tuition. In the house a
bill was introduced forbidding the mortgage
ing of growing crops While that plan may
not be wise it comes nnder the head of pa.
/ ternal legislation" to forbid it by law An
other peculiar move was a joint resolution
asking tn Minnesota delegation in Congress
| to secure a law making education compulsory
among colored people. AS there are plenty
| OF White people too, who need compulsion
| to make them learn anything. it smacks Of
class legislation to single out a race in that
manner Most of the bills to-day were
| purely local. and many passed under sus-
pension of the rules. The effort to print the
| Governors message in all the languages on
earth seems to have been overdone for the
house voted to-day not to print in any Ian
| guage. Under the printing law few can
| be issued in English and after the colored
race have been compelled to become
educated they will have chance to read
that thrilling document even though white
folks (who haven't been completely may be
deprived of the privilege. Lest the supply
of committees should run short the speaker
announced the following additional ones ::
ReappOrtionment-R Rogers. Pettitt, Baker,
Barker. Gregory. J. n. Jones. A. II. John
son, Hopper aud Knox.
Soldiers Home Shuler. Prosser, Fur
long. Flynn. Donnelly. Costello Wilson.
Logs-Comstock. Lum, Gregory, Knox,
Cullen
Labor-Lucas. Lee. Powers and Freeman
Mississippi River Commission-Cloutie
Freeman. Cullen.
